February 5, 2012

A sincere welcome to Knox! Today we are pleased to have Rev. Nelson with us to lead in worship as we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We do appreciate his leadership.

Everyone is encouraged to join us in Knox Hall for our monthly fellowship luncheon, after which we will return to the sanctuary for our annual meeting. We trust many of you will be available for this meeting.

Next Sunday our guest will be Liz Chaplin, who is the chaplain at the hospital.

Flowers in the sanctuary are placed in loving memory of Marguerite Robinson, by Carl and family.

Election of Elders - There are letters on the entrance table to each communicant member regarding the election which will be held on March 4th. Please follow the instructions and if you have any questions call the office.
